When the Star League fell, many of the remaining ''Catapults'' joined [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on his [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]].  The [[Capellan Confederation]] collected most of the ''Catapults'' that remained in the Inner Sphere, and the Hollis factory on [[Corey]] briefly produced new models and spare parts. At the same time, the [[Draconis Combine]] managed to seize a sizable force in their capture of [[Dieron]].  The renewed production ended when the Corey factory was destroyed at the onset of the [[First Succession War]], ensuring the rarity of the ''Catapult'' during the rest of that [[Succession Wars era|bloody era]].  Entire invasions were commenced simply to seize the remaining number of these 'Mechs, particularly those launched by the [[Federated Suns]] against the Confederation.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/>

Many variants of this venerable design were produced through its lifetime, and the ''Catapult'''s rarity began to reverse in [[3033]] when Yori 'Mech Works was contracted by the [[DCMS]] to restart production of the CPLT-K2 on [[Al Na'ir]].  The greatest change to the chassis came later, with the introduction of the CPLT-C3, which swapped out the original's LRMs for much larger and more powerful artillery missiles.  These models were put to excellent use, especially when paired with ''[[Raven]]s'', and paved the way for new design advancements.<ref name=TRO3050u>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 72</ref>

In the years prior to and after the [[Clan Invasion]], the Confederation and Combine retained the largest number of existing ''Catapults'', though many [[Periphery]] realms would field some of the centuries-old models, and more variants would be produced for decades.<ref name=TRO3050u/>
